Today was very like a summer day. It did get significantly warmer than predicted, and it was humid for most of the day. We did have some light cloud cover off an on, but there was no precipitation. I did work on the garden preparation a bit more. If it does not rain tomorrow I should have the entire garden prepared and ready for planting.
Speaking of tomorrow N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation through the overnight with virtually no cloud cover (5%/8%/10%/9%), and quite warm temperatures. I guess that means that tomorrow should start like another summer day. I think we can handle two in a row with no trouble at all.
My Weather Stick points up, and that is a little bit of a surprise considering the relative humidity at 70%. All three of the electronic instruments forecast falling barometric pressure. Two of them forecast foul weather. The remote weather station currently forecasts a mix of fair and cloudy skies. I am not sure how this will work out, but the Weather Underground model forecast maps do not show any storms in our immediate future. The NEXRAD radar is not showing any precipitation heading our way either. On that basis, and what I have seen outside tonight I must disagree and call for another day similar to today, although we could have some pop-up thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. How is that for hedging my bets?

N.O.A.A. had the temperature correct within limits with the exception of the 05:00 hour reading. Their prognostication of the relative humidity was not as good, since they had only one data point close, and that was at 17:00 hours.
